Sampled during the First Annual Stone Sour Fest. Another favorite of the day. Clear coppery purple color with a really nice head. The citrusy aromas were berry berry fruity. More berry on the flavor. Not as sour as the name would have you believe. Nice hop finish with blackberry infused. I really like it.

Tasted on tap at O’Briens. This fruit beer pours a medium purple color from the tap. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is blackberry, malt and some funk. A medium bodied fruit beer. The malts are caramel and fruity. The hops are earthy. Nice blackberry flavors, very clean and semi-sweet. There is a touch of funk and tartness but not that much. Nice balance. Good carbonation. It’s very good as a fruit beer, not so much as a sour beer. The funk is there, but very subdued. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter with a slight touch of sourness.

Tap. Dark pink-red with a small pink head. Raspberry aroma, distinct citric tartness. Heavy raspberry flavor, mouth watering tartness. Subdued tartness fleshes out the fruit flavor. Residual fruit and pucker in the finish. Mouthfeel is light, rather dry.

A dark red beer with fully covered pink tinted froth. Aroma of cherry cake frosting and candied pineapple and cherries. Flavors tended to be more fruity than sour to the point of being fairly candy-like, with pineapple and cherry dominating. Its nice though as its a clean fruity ale with an added bonus of having a fun sour background. It’s not fairly complex by any means and the body is on the thin side...but its a fun beer and even better, its rather spritzy.

<b>~RBSG ’08~</b> <br /><br /> On tap at O’Brien’s. Pours a bright pinkish red, with creamy pink head and thick filmy lacing. Blackberry nose, vanilla, some slight tart notes. Tart cherries and blackberries in the flavor, heavy malt backbone, dry finish. Basic but good, nice and balanced, not too tart. Could pound a lot of these.
